Featured Antech Point-of-Care Systems 

Element DCX™ & DC5X™ — Clinical Chemistry

Flexible chemistry platforms designed to suit different clinic sizes and workloads, from the intuitive DCX™ to the higher-throughput DC5X™. Both systems deliver accurate, fast results with minimal maintenance, allowing clinics to choose the level of capacity best aligned to their workflow.

With a shared platform, the DC range supports scalability across diverse clinic networks without adding unnecessary complexity.

Element HT5™ & HT5+™ — Advanced Haematology 

True five-part WBC differential analysers delivering reliable haematology results in as little as 60–90 seconds. The HT5+™ adds reticulocyte capability, supporting deeper insight in more complex or critical cases, without slowing clinic workflow. 

EUROLyser CUBE-VET 

A compact specialty chemistry analyser designed to extend in-clinic diagnostic capability with a focused menu of veterinary-specific biomarkers. 

EUROLyser CUBE-VET provides fast, in-clinic access to selected parameters such as SDMA, Phenobarbital, and inflammatory markers — supporting timely clinical decisions without adding workflow complexity. With simple three-step operation, intuitive touchscreen navigation, and seamless results transfer to practice management systems, it’s an ideal complement to broader point-of-care platforms. 

Element i+™ — Immunodiagnostics & Cancer Screening 

A compact immunoassay analyzer supporting a broad menu of essential tests, including total T4, cortisol, progesterone, cTSH, and cCRP. 

Also provides access to the Nu.Q® canine cancer test, offering clinics earlier insight through a point-of-care technology not currently available on other NZ POCT platforms. 

Nu.Q® — In-house Canine Cancer Screening 

The only in-clinic canine cancer risk screening test available, designed to support earlier clinical insight during routine wellness and senior health checks. 

Nu.Q® measures plasma nucleosome concentration to help identify dogs at increased risk of certain cancers, delivering actionable results in minutes while the patient is still on site. 

Element AIM™ — Automated Faecal & Urinalysis 

The only fully automated faecal and urine analyser available, designed to streamline two traditionally time-intensive diagnostic processes. 

Element AIM™ delivers consistent, objective results with minimal hands-on time, improving efficiency and standardisation in-clinic.

trūRapid™ Tests — Rapid Infectious Disease Screening 

A range of reliable, easy-to-use rapid tests delivering fast answers at the point of care, including trūRapid™ FIV/FeLV .

Ideal for quick screening during consults. 

Please note: The other Antech trūRapid™ tests are not available in New Zealand due to the exotic status of the test organisms.
